Tondo. Red Cloak

The rim is built up in swirls of blue and rust; frame and painting are one piece.

One subject lived through dozens of ways: rider, spear, serpent — each time in a different matter, from red ground to blue tile. A series about an image that survives any reworking and stays recognisable from across the room.

A round panel: a rider in a red cloak on a grey horse, the serpent in flames below.
